What do you make of the Primal Scream album? 'Country Girl' has ensured I have no inclination whatsoever to hear it.

Bizarrely for a massive Futureheads fan, not only have I not yet bought the new album, but I haven't even heard the single. I seem to have stockpiled so much stuff that I just feel I ought to work my way through some of that first, before going out and picking up News And Tributes, Rather Ripped etc etc.

Actually that's a complete lie but if I say there is that puts me under a bit more pressure to actually do it! I could do another top ten of songs I'm listening to today? But that might get boring. And it would just read...

1. The Young Knives - Current of the River2. The Young Knives - Current of the River3. The Young Knives - Current of the River4-10. etc

Anyway. Ben, you have to make haste and repair your reputation as a Futureheads fan - the album is blinding, I've been meaning to write about it for a while. Much subtler and less immediate than the first one but probably better. And the new Young Knives single is utterly ace, particularly the refrain: "You were screaming at your mum and I was punching your dad".

I like the Primal Scream record but I make no claims for its originality. But I like pretty much everything they do and there's a few great tracks.
